Commentary


Deux exemplaires identiques se trouvent, l’un dans la collection Chaper, l’autre au Cabinet des médailles de Paris. De Bie, Histoire de la France métallique, Paris, 1636 donne la description suivante du revers : “le corps est de trois lis tigés naissans de terre, au-dessus desquels paroist en la région de l’air un soleil en aspect sextil avec la lune”.

Historical background


DAUPHINÉ - FRANCIS II, DAUPHIN

(19/1/1544-5/12/1560)

François II is the eldest son of Henri II and Catherine de Médicis. he married in 1558 Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland and became king in 1559 following the accidental death of his father. He gave up all his power to his wife's Lorraine uncles, François, Duke of Guise and Charles, Duke of Lorraine. This provoked opposition from the Protestant leaders Antoine de Bourbon, the Prince de Condé and the Colignys and led to the Conspiracy of Amboise in which they planned to kidnap the king. The king died in 1560 leaving no posterity.
